I still seems the BBC made the guys 'stress' worse by originally letting him go.
Sad state of affairs if you ask me.

Everyone knows the song 'The sun has got his hat on' but who would ever have thought the original version contained that word in it?

So one could say he is either ignorant or stupid.....possibly a combination of both as it also was his choice to p,ay it as otherwise if a play list given to him then it would have technically been someone else's fault. So hard to feel sorry when he chose to play it. Daft as it may seem

Do you really think that?
The PC brigade have gone completely loopy.
maybe we should ban all books written before June 30th 1995, in case something in one of them offends someone

Obviously somebody found it offensive. I do not make the PC racism or sexism rules however if your in public broadcasting etc you should know your content.
There may well be a list of these type of tunes etc. if he has unfairly been dismissed the rules are just as PC as the ones that got him fired. So the PC rules work both ways. Just saying if you play records as your job and you choose the records you should know the content..
